Just finished my saw till. As always, wonderful plan that was easy to adapt to my needs. I used a reclaimed ancient oak beam from a timber-framed house that was too beat up for the original purpose I got it for. But it had just enough salvageable wood left in it for this till. Came out absolutely gorgeous and really popped once the Danish oil and wax was applied.

I MADE MINE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO , I USE MOSTLY POWER TOOLS BUT NOT AWAYS. GOOD JOB

Just for grins and giggles, I think it would have been cool to do half-lap dovetails on the ends of the blade holders. It would force you to glue them at the same time you glue the bottom, but I don't think it's that complicated. The advantage is the coolness of the dovetails showing on the sides of the till.

power tools do have their place, but hand tools are so much more peaceful to use and you feel more one with the wood. Each craftsman must follow what works for them, I suppose. I was kind of hoping to see you turn the dowel on your homemade lathe, I love home-built hand made tools.
